80s Peasant Girl

The last few people returned to the main room and added up again.

Decided to kill in the dark tomorrow night, but fortunately, Qin Xian's house is relatively remote, and there are no other people within the distance.

If it was in the center of the village, the sound of the beheading would probably disturb many people.

The next day, Qin Xian went up the mountain as usual, but he didn't wander around much, he just checked the traps and went to the cave to take care of the poisonous snakes.

In the afternoon, instead of going up the mountain, I took a hoe and ran to the side of the kitchen near the well to start digging.

This is what she discussed with her family when she was eating at noon.

In the mountains, she found a big water pool, and there were a lot of fish and shrimps in it, and she planned to get some of these things back one after another.

Firstly, they can guarantee their own food, and secondly, when necessary, they can also be sent to the town to pay back the money.

Therefore, it is necessary to dig a small puddle at home, at least to ensure that the fish and shrimps brought back will not die in a few days.

After a busy afternoon, she dug out a small pit that was more than one meter square and 40 to 50 centimeters deep.

"Girl, you dug too small."

When Qin Guoyong came home and saw the small pit, he directly said that it was too small, and he went to his son and made a fuss.

Directly double the area of ​​this small pit.

"Junzi, after dinner, you can help get some water and pour it in."

This is considered a dry land in their house, so the water needs to be irrigated several times to ensure that the water will not seep so fast.

The next morning, when Qin Xian got up, half of the water in the puddle had disappeared.

She fed it a lot more, and then she took a wooden barrel from the kitchen and put it in the back basket to go up the mountain.

In one morning, she brought back five or six fat fish weighing several kilograms, and put them in the water pit.

After dinner, she went there again, and there were four or five more big fish in the puddle.

Tonight, Lin Guozhang was coming to help slaughter wild goats and red deer, and she made a lot of food for the afternoon.

Among them, the spicy stewed fish must be indispensable, and the fresh mountain spring fish, the meat quality is quite delicious.

Then two pieces of wild boar are fried, served with two refreshing hot and sour wild vegetables.

Although it is not a medicinal diet, but the taste still makes Lin Guozhang and his daughter full of praise.

"I've already contacted the boatman. He will be waiting for us by the river at four o'clock in the morning."

"It's time to pack up and get to the town around seven or eight o'clock."

After Lin Guozhang finished speaking, he looked at Qin Xian.

"It's just so much meat, where do you plan to sell it? I'm afraid it's not easy to sell it at the market. Although the control of private sales has been relaxed a lot, it's probably not good to sell it openly."

"Don't worry about Uncle Lin, I made an agreement with the owner of a restaurant in the town earlier."

"He should be able to eat some, and I plan to ask Cousin Nan for help with the rest. She knows a lot of people in the town, so she should be able to help with some of it."

"If we can't deal with it, let's get it back and eat it ourselves."

These Qin Xian had planned long ago.

"That's okay, as long as there is a market."

"Sister Xiaomei, do you want to take your medicinal materials to the town? How about together tomorrow morning?"

When Lin Xiaomei heard this, she nodded quickly. There were a lot of piles in her house. Although she didn't come to go up the mountain with Qin Xian during this time.

But in my spare time, I also go to the woods closer to home to dig some. Although the quantity is not much, it will make a lot of it after a few days.

"I'll go back and pack up."

"I'll help you."

Qin Wenjun was very discerning, and the two left together.

Regarding this, the three elders just smiled.

After nightfall, several people began to get busy, three kerosene lamps were lit in the pigsty, and a large pot of hot water was burning in the kitchen.

Qin Wenjun and Qin Guoyong first tied up the wild goat, especially the mouth.

This is because they are afraid of making too much noise at that time.

Lin Guozhang took the knife, and it took nearly two hours for a wild goat to be decomposed and processed.

He got sixty-nine catties of meat and went into the water, not counting his head.

Qin Xian was about to go into the water, and with his head, he carried nine catties of mutton to the kitchen.

This night, there must be no time to rest, but in the middle of the night, you can get some mutton and venison to taste.

After tidying up the goats and resting for a while, several people started to slaughter the red deer again, which was much bigger than wild goats.

Both Qin Guoyong and his son couldn't hold it down with all their strength. In the end, it was Qin Xian who helped the red deer to be slaughtered.

Deer blood is a precious thing, Lin Xiaomei followed carefully.

Then there are two antlers, which are not too big, but they are very precious, and the price at the pharmacy in the town will definitely not be bad.

Then came the buckskin, which they didn't plan to sell for the time being.

This thing is made into a vest, which is a good warm item in winter.

The red deer tossed and tossed longer than the wild goat, and it was not completely decomposed until one or two o'clock in the middle of the night.

The net weight of the meat is two hundred and thirty-six catties, and the water does not count.

"Mother, in a moment you pick out thirty-six catties of high-quality venison and keep it."

After finishing everything, Qin Xian's broth and meat dishes are also ready in the kitchen.

Several people sat around the main room, eating and drinking. After four o'clock in the morning, they began to be busy packing meat and medicinal materials.

Then the six people left the village in the dark, waited by the river for a while, and the boatman came.

It was a small boat, and when the boatman saw so many of them and so many things, his expression was a bit uneasy.

"Brother Luo, I have to trouble you to make two more trips later."

Lin Guozhang stepped forward with a smile, took out a pack of cigarettes and handed it over first. Qin Guoyong also understood, and then took out five yuan and handed it over.

Old man Luo, who got cigarettes and another two yuan, immediately showed a warm smile on his face.

"It's okay, that's what I do, it doesn't matter if you make one or two more trips."

One must know that normally, he would only earn a few cents by pulling five or six people across the river, but now he got five yuan, plus a pack of cigarettes, which was a bargain.

"Master, do you often send people across the river by boat?"

"Yeah, as long as it's not heavy rain and snow, it's almost every day."

Qin Xian nodded, but did not continue to say anything.

However, her heart became active. What she was most worried about before was that it would be difficult to catch big prey and take it to the town. If everything goes well this time.

Then she can do it like this in the future, but it is faster than digging up those ordinary medicinal materials.

"I said, brother Lin, what are you doing?"

"It's nothing, isn't this year's food only distributed?"

"My daughter is going to get married soon, and I'm thinking about going to the town to exchange some money so I can buy things."

Hearing this, old man Luo didn't say much, reselling things is not always popular, no wonder he had to leave in the middle of the night.

More than half an hour later, a group of people crossed the river and headed towards the town with their baskets on their backs.

It was still tens of miles away from the town, and it took a lot of time for a few people to carry so many things on their backs.

When we arrived in town, it was already daylight.

"Let's go to the restaurant first."
